While loading screens are a reality of life in
City of Heroes, there's at least the advantage of the loading screens themselves being attractive. Each screen highlights the variety of scenery within each zone, having been carefully picked out by the developers and the artists. But the developers don't want to force their opinions of the best parts of each zone upon the players, so the team at
Paragon Studios has devised a contest for players to
pick out their own best loading screenshots -- with the usual chance at fantastic prizes.
The
official announcement includes Photoshop files for several loading templates, along with detailed instructions on assembling an eligible sceenshot. And the prizes are quite generous -- the top prize includes a six-month subscription to the game, as well as a copy of every single Super Booster. Take a look at
the full list of rules and
the list of eligible zones, and then log in to
City of Heroes and get to work on your best
Ansel Adams impersonation in-game.
